My supply list was a new Keurig, a huge stockpile of k-cups, 3 boxes of instant oatmeal, granola bars, a case of gingerale & a big bottle of Advil

Love it! I do only buy the Pilot G2 pens! I put colorful tape around them to prove they were mine because they seemed to grow legs. Couldn't have the adult beverage at school, but there was ALWAYS chocolate somewhere in my classroom. I've recently retired (30 years). I must be crazy because I miss it so much!

What about the teacher who buys all the pretty supplies because it’s her one and only coping mechanism because she knows what’s about to happen to her life? Asking for a friend.

It’s September and yes, I made sure I had my wife’s favorite chocolate was in the house. She tore in to the bag at the end of the first day. I plan on restocking this weekend because she’s been mumbling something about PPTs. I think I’ll stick with accounting.

Spot on. I *finally* acknowledged the futility of my expanding folder and retired it this year. I literally bought a neoprene cover for my notebook, and dove chocolate is stashed in my desk.

Each July I was Target's favorite customer for their back-to-school sale as I bought Crayola markers (broad and fine tip), colored pencils, and crayons, Dry Erase markers, rulers, Ticonderoga Dixon #2 pencils, Pink Pearl erasers, scissors - small and large, blunt and pointed, Elmer's Glue Sticks in bulk (40+ each of everything) as well as electric pencil sharpeners as I taught elem. art - sometimes up to four different schools every week - for years. Some schools - no budget, others - $100 for the year (650+ kids per school). One clerk as he looked down the checkout and my haul, asked "Are you a teacher?" "No, I just really like Crayola products."

You missed my sharpie collection. Ultra fine tips and those fat chisel tips for quick calligraphy labels. Silver and other metallics for labeling dark things. SHARPIES AND CRAYOLA CRAYONS😅

Meanwhile, other professionals don’t have to purchase their own work supplies.

I bought that big-ass planner because hope springs eternal! But most likely it'll be empty after mid-October. Writing things in the planner and on Google Classroom is just double the work.

I’ve got that exact bag of Dove chocolates in my drawer at school. 😂👍🏻

Pilot G2 gel pens all day baby! Except I grade in green lol

Pilot G2 red ink pens are tight. I used these from day 1.

I had to stop the video at the individual pencil sharpeners because that was SO ME!! I actually did this one year. Another year I got all mechanical pencils. And no the kids didn’t interrupt my lesson to ask if they could sharpen their pencil, they would just get up and do it in the middle of my lesson. And it’s an electric pencil sharpener! And they would just stand there and grind away the pencil in the middle of my lesson! And as soon as one finished another would do the same thing till I yanked the damn cord out of the socket! Yeah, no I’m not triggered at all. 😱😱

Another thing to add: secret bottle of Tylenol. I keep one on me at all times, just in case.

[dianebrogna]

I have bought all of those things at one time or another !! So true…. :-)

[saraclaireart]

Omg the planner… I start the year off great then by January it is blank LOL

[LvBMusik]

A few years ago, I got one of those expandable folders to put papers in to grade when I got home … yup, so, I think I used it 2 or 3 times total … and I think that’s rounding up how many times I used it. What she explained in the video about it is very, very true! 😆

That last one reminds me of the student' mom who gave me a FIFTH OF TEQUILA as an end of year gift.

Dang, that woman was right on target! I had to hide it quick though, and sneak it out of the building.

The Experienced Teacher makes notes on the school supply list: "Please, please, PLEASE only buy Fiskars scissors. And do NOT go to the dollar store to buy crayons! Oh, please!"

The traumatized teacher... oh the things that traumatize us! 😅
